Message from instructor
Experienced English teacher from the US, living in Japan.
Hobbies / favorite countries / countries visited
My favorite hobbies are music, weightlifting, and continuing to improve my Japanese language skills. Lately, learning and understanding the meaning of lyrics to Japanese songs I like has become a fun project.
Approach to corrections
I try to preserve a customer's original words and writing style as much as possible unless "drastic change," "formal," "casual," etc. is requested. I also try to be as intuitive as possible so that my corrections don't result in failing to get the point across that they're trying to make.

    Thank you for your explanations and suggestions. I didn’t know the word “potable,” so it was a great learning opportunity even though this was totally a typo. I look forward to taking your lesson again.

    Thank you for your collections. Thanks to you, I feel improvement in my writing. I'd like to try complicted exercises, but their daily themes are so difficult for me. I need themes for intermediate. However, I'll try them in the near future.

    Thank you always. I am really scared of insects, but I live in a rural area of Tokyo which has rich natural. So, especially in summer, I struggle with insects. Thus, I often have a nightmare about insects. That's why I jump out of bed in the midnight.

    Thank you always. I watched only "Ring" when I was a child. And it was traumatic, so I haven't watched Japanese horror movies after that. Recently, I enjoyed American horror movies, like "Conjuring" series. I enjoyed them not as horror movies, but as action movies against demons. Anyway, I didn't watch but "Ring" "Rasen" and "Dark Water" are very famonus Japanese horror movies.

    Dear Tom, Thank you for your collections. From ancient era, people died because of wars, natural disasters and crimes. So, I mean not only recent earthquakes and wars. Anyway, your collections and teaching are always useful. Thank you.
